In April, we explore the life of the great Sikh leader Ranjit Singh (1780–1839) through an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, London. And look at the history of the Mingei movement, from the 19th century to the present, including the studio pottery of Bernard Leach and Hamada Shoji. More ceramic articles in this issue include Japanese tastes in Chinese ceramics and contemporary Korean ceramics.

There’s also the art of Cambodia from early Khmer art to the present, on show in Michigan, and Painting the Persianate World on Paper, Cloth, and Clay in Massachusetts.

Elsewhere in the issue we look at the Ainu Culture of northern Japan, the rise of Tropical Modernism in architecture through photographs, and the art of Zao Wou-ki.

Exhibition reviews include the work of contemporary artist Refik Anadol in London, the influence of the Korean Wave on contemporary culture, in Boston, and animals in Indian art in Mumbai.
